One of my least favorite things about these short holiday breaks is having to put my watch back on as I get ready for the first day back at work. The physical presence bothers me due to the implications. No longer am I operating on natural time. Now it's machine time. Imposed time. Now it is all clock time and schedules. Now it is trained monkeys and Pavlov's dogs as each evenly measured tick takes you one step closer to tock and life is broken. Fragmented. In evenly measured. Seg.Ments. That never do life justice.

I feel like the book was such an extremely strong framework. It had a great story, great characters, and presumably great dialogue. Coen bros. brought it to screen impeccably - keeping the story, characters, and dialogue strong.
Javier and the rest of the cast really brought their characters to life.
I can't really speak of anything the critics have said because I stay far far away from them. I hate film critics.
I think that in any case Coen bros. deserve credit for creating the film they did.
(Oh, and I'm always happy to have someone disagree with me as long as they're not a fuckwit. Seeing as you're not, all it does is makes for good discussion!)
